Test Kitchen Update

Geezz!! We have been so busy in the test kitchen since the new year began that I am just now catching my breath.

Two of the flavors that we have been testing have received overwhelming responses and because of this we will be releasing them early for your springtime picnics. Available now at Debbie's Dips.

Our New Blue Buffalo Wing Dip Mix is our special creation blending the normal buffalo wing dipping sauce of Blue Cheese with tangy Buffalo Wing Sauce! Yumm! This makes a wonderful dip by just adding sour cream or spice up your favorite salad by using the dip mix packet as a salad dressing. Blend sour cream, mayo & milk together, add the dip mix packet and voila, you have a wonderfully tangy fresh salad dressing.

The second dip mix that we have developed for those buffalo wing fans is
Buffalo Ranch Dip Mix. We have blended two of your favorite flavors. Not only does this dip mix give you the favorite cool ranch flavor but the nice tangy flavor of the hot buffalo wings. This has tested great as a dip mix, but also as a spice packet additive to many things. We have tested it as a additive to your fried chicken batter as well as a spice packet to our ground beef for tasty burgers!

We are sure that you are going to love these two new flavors as much as we do and look forward to hearing your feedback!

Be sure that you are signed up for our newsletter as we will be sending one out announcing these new flavors as soon as they are available on our website. Don't forget to choose your favorite flavors on the "poll" in the upper right hand corner of this blog!

Meanwhile, we are still working on several additional flavors including our newest "sugar free" fruit dips! Yummy!

Thanks again to everyone that has volunteered to be our guinea pigs on these new flavor testings and for all your feedback. Please keep it coming!

Taste Test Reviews

Thanks to everyone that has been participating in the taste testing of several new product ideas. I have received great feedback as well as some new flavor ideas. The Blue Buffalo Wing and Buffalo Ranch dips were a hit out of the shoot and will be listed on the website soon.

I am still working with the "sugar free" fruit dips and different types of sweeteners, but they too should be ready for packaging by April if not sooner. So far in the "sugar free" category we have Strawberries 'n Cream, Blueberry, and Coconut. We have a few new fruit dip flavors in the testing mode that are made with "organic dextrose" as the sweetening agent and may be more digestible for some people verses some of the other products.

Keep checking the website for these new items and continue to send me your feedback regarding any flavors you have tasted or would like to have packaged.

Just as a reminder, we will be closed from Tuesday, February 3rd to Monday, February 9th. All orders received after 5pm MST on Monday February 2nd will be shipped out on the 9th in the order in which they were received.

Thanks again.
